Everybody Lies Lyrics
everybody lies
everybody all the time
i lie to go to sleep when all is wrong or right
most of it's not there
everything and everywhere
i lie about you and me too
but it's allright everybody lies
make the wrong right
everybody all the time
i lie to go to sleep when all is wrong or right
most of it's not there
everything and everywhere
i lie about you and me too
but it's allright everybody lies

wow, no ones commented on this song. it's so awesome and so incredibly TRUE... that i can't get over.
I always interpreted the line about lying to go to sleep meaning he has to lie to himself to be okay with the things he does so that he can sleep easily (i.e. lie to free his conscience). My friend told me she thinks it might mean he has to lie to the one he's in bed with to go to sleep.
I also have always found Nada Surf to have a fascination with reality and what is or isn't real. They manage to capture it perfectly with "Most of it's not there/ Everything and everywhere". I love it!
